Reporters covering proposed transit systems and expansions have a distinct disadvantage -- there are literally no visuals. How do you illustrate something that doesn't yet exist? Most stories resort to showing areas where the train might run if built, abandoned railroad tracks the trains might use, or incorporating video from other cities with existing transit systems. So how do you turn a vision of future transit systems into a visual story?

This tip sheet offers some suggestions, plus a guide to Internet resources on transportation [2].
